M/{U/Q/CE G. MAI/GER BAR-BE-CUE DEVKCE This invention relates tostove-like devices and more particularly to a bar-be-cue device.

It is therefore the primary purpose of this invention to provide abar-be-cue device which will be readily extended from a travel trailerand will utilize the bottled gas which is used for other purposes withinthe trailer.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device of the typedescribed which will include bracket means for mounting it to thetrailer, and telescoping sleeve means for extending it outwards from thetrailer, the sleeve on the interior of the main sleeve carrying aflexible hose encased in wire so that the two may be telescopinglyreceived within each other without damage to the hose, the hose beingconnected to the bottled gas on the interior of the travel trailer.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a device of thetype described which will have elbow means and pipe means attached tothe flexible tube, the elbow having stud means for securing it to avertical pipe attached to the grill portion of the device.

Yet another object of this invention is to provide a device of the typedescribed which will have control guide means to meet the jet, the jetbeing partially received in the center of a flared tube and the lowerportion of the tube beneath the grill portion will have air inletopening means in order to support combustion of the gas which will beused for cooking the meat or the like.

Other objects of the present invention are to provide a bar-be-cuedevice which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged inconstruction, easy to use and efficient in operation.

These and other objects will become readily evident upon a study of thefollowing specification together with the accompanying drawing wherein:

FIG. 1 is a side view of the present invention shown partly broken away;and

FIG. 2 is a similar view showing the device in its fully extendedposition for cooking purposes.-

According to this invention, a bar-be-cue device is shown to include anelongated sleeve 11 having brackets 12 thereon, which are secured toL-shaped brackets 13 for mounting purposes. One end of sleeve 11 is acap member 14 secured thereto by bolt fasteners or other suitable means(not shown). The opposite end of sleeve 11 is open and telescopinglyreceives a sleeve 15 which is welded atright angles to a sleeve 16.Carried within sleeve 16 is an elbow 17 having an extending stud 18which threadingly receives nut fasteners 19 and 20 which render elbow l7secure within sleeve 16. A valve 21 at the upper extremity of elbow 17is provided with an external knob 22 which provides adjustment means forthe gas being egressed from nozzle 23 within the flared tube 24extending from the grill portion 25 of device 10. Threadingly carried atthe opposite end of elbow 17 is a pipe 26 which is secured in a suitablemanner to a flexible plastic tube 27 which is encased within wire 28 inorder that it may extend or contract while not rubbing against the innerperiphery of sleeve 15. The tube 27 is attached at its opposite end tofitting 29 which is threadingly carrying an elbow 30. Secured to elbow30 is a flexible tube 31 which extends from a pressurized gas bottle(not shown) on the interior of trailer 32.

It shall be noted that the gas bottle within the trailer 32 is used forpurposes on the interior of trailer 32 in a well known manner, however,device it) enables the same bottle to be used to supply gas to thenozzle 23 for use with the grill portion 25 of device 10. The lower endof sleeve 16 of device it) is provided with an open ing 33 for thepurpose of enabling atmospheric air to enter to support combustion ofthe gas coming from the nozzle 23.

ln use, door 34 is opened of trailer 32 and device 10 is urgedtelescopingly outwards from the support sleeve 11 and thus enables theuser to quickly bar-be-cue foods.

What I claim is:

l. A telescoping barbecueing device for travel trailers, comprising anelongated sleeve, a pair of brackets carried by said sleeve providingsupport means for said sleeve by being secured to a pair of bracketssecured to said trailer, a telescoping sleeve carried within saidelongated sleeve secured to said trailer providing a means of extendinga grill portion of said device outwards from said trailer, a wireencircled plastic tube carried within said telescoping tube providingpassageway means for gas contained in a gas bottle on the interior ofsaid trailer, a pipe and an elbow member carried within said device withvalve means for controlling a gas jet used to burn said gas for cookingfood within said grill portion of said device and a threaded studcarrried'by said device for mounting said valve, said elbow, and saidjet in a rigid position.

2. A telescoping barbecuing device comprises an elongated main sleevesecured to a pair of brackets of a trailer, said main sleeve beingprovided with an internal fitting for securing a flexible and wireencased tube on the interior of said main sleeve and said fitting issecured to an elbow external of said main sleeve so as to enable aflexible hose of a gas bottle within said trailer to be secured to saidelbow in order to provide gas for cooking within said device, the tubingof said device being wire encased so that it may be extended orcontracted without wear due to the wire being engaged slidably with theinner periphery of said telescoping tube, the wire protecting said tubefrom ware, and pipe means secured to the end of said flexible tube isthreadably carried within said elbow within a sleeve welded to saidtelescoping tube, said tube welded thereto, is secured in a suitablemanner to the grill portion of said device and a threaded stud extendingfrom the elbow of said tube of said grill portion provides a means ofrendering the jet, the valve and the elbow stationary, said stubextending through the wall of said tube containing said valve and saidjet, said stud carrying threaded nut fastners, one externally and oneinternally, so as to render said valve, said elbowa'nd said jetstationary, a knob carried by said valve providing control means for theamount of gas being egressed from the nozzle of said jet, said nozzlebeing partially enclosed within a flared tube within said tube welded tosaid telescoping tube and carried by said grill portion and the oppositeend of said tube welded thereto, is opened so as to enable air atatmospheric pressure to enter so as to support combustion of said gaswhen cooking, and when said device is not in use it is telescoping urgedrearward into said main sleeve secured to said trailer, and said devicecomprises a barbecue and trailer combination.
